I'm 80% certain those NWS snowfall maps y'all post are automated and not made by the meteorologists in the building. I may be wrong, but they are always all over the place.
For what it's worth, the most recent HRRR did prolong the end of the event another 1-3 hours for Wake... So if we begin by 7PM, we could have over 6 hours of precipitation.
KAT CAMPBELL tweeted: These are new Euro ensembles - still showing a good bet that you'll see snow but the odds of 3" decreased a bit in the western part of our viewing area. Our saving grace? The high resolution models aren't seeing the snow band in our northern counties that's been around for hours
All the professionals are saying the same thing. They are all saying there is the POSSIBILITY of a bust and a MINIMUM in central NC. But so far nobody has the guts to put 0-1" on a map.
BRAD P posted 10PM update. He mentions that some of the CAMS are struggling with initiation but blossoming. He also says he was one of the first ones to mention the DRY SLOT.
As someone said earlier, there are places ALREADY GETTING SNOW that are not depicted as getting snow on some of those high res snowfall accumulation maps.
LMAO, FISHEL just made a video at 8:40 and said a model earlier scared the living daylights out of him and "killed everything" but has since corrected.
I guess he didn't see the new one yet! Nobody knows
00Z HRRR fills in that huge dry slot a little bit.. but still has it.
It also has the precip starting mid-afternoon in Raleigh and ending a little later sunday morning
Mike Maze just posted the EURO Ensembles (which they call their exclusive product) and the amounts keep trending down.
You can expect an adjustment to their map either tonight or tomorrow morning and they will probably have Wake County in the 1-3" range.
